No, but it looks very accessible. May need special tool to disengage the connections, though.

The connections are either going to be a squeeze and pull type tab or a simple nut deal. Probly one of each on either side.

is it by that black box in the back of the car? i think i saw it when i changed my springs out.. just curious because i don't want it to lack fuel... how often are we suppose to change them.. i saw on one of the dealer maintenance cards that it's every 12k miles or something

If the 2.0 has the same filter as my car, 2.2, then it will be a silver cylinder with 2 entrys and on exit nearer to passenger side above the rear trailing arm. If I remember correctly its simple clip connections but the filter itself is about $80 bucks. Load of sh*t to me but its specifically designed for the returnless system so what can you do.

yup, yup that's it right there......but like I've said I have no idea how often we're supposed to change them, nor any idea on how to do it.....seems easy enough though.

ahh Newbs.....

it is located next to the EVAP Canister, you need a fuel line disconnect tool for the one side, and the other side is just two quick connects, Just squeeze the tabs and pull the plastic lines off of the filter. It is recommended to replace them every 15k miles, also order them from crate engine depot because you run the chance of getting screwed at the dealership with outrageous $60 pricing for the filter, and it might even be an aftermarket filter, wich is one trick many dealerships use to cut costs.
